The Milan–Asso railway is a regional standard gauge railway line linking Milan to Canzo, with stops in Erba and other towns in Brianza. The northern terminal is Canzo-Asso, located in the commune of Canzo, but known as Asso, because there is another station on the line called Canzo and Canzo-Asso is next to the commune of Asso and serves the commune.

The management of the railway and of the stations is performed by FerrovieNord, until March 17, 2016.

The regional and suburban passenger service is provided by Trenord, under a service contract negotiated with Lombardy for the years 2009–2020.
